What are Biomimetic Hormones?

You may have come across the terms “Biomimetic Hormones” or “using bioidentical hormones biomimetically” in your reading on the subjects of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) , menopause, perimenopause, andropause, etc., and wondered what exactly this means.  Is the word “biomimetic” related to the word bioidentical?  Most definitely these words are related.  The following will explain more clearly the term “biomimetic hormones” and “biomimetic hormone replacement therapy”.

So what are biomimetic hormones?

Biomimetic hormones are natural bioidentical hormones used as hormone replacement therapy in a manner or “protocol” created by T.S. Wiley of Wiley Systems, Inc.  This protocol is known as “The Wiley Protocol”.

The Wiley Protocol is a natural bioidentical hormone therapy which restores declining hormone levels in a manner which more closely imitates the natural rise and fall of hormones in the body of a woman during the month.  Biomimetic hormone replacement uses the bioidentical hormones progesterone and estradiol and differs from the static dosing of bioidentical hormones in that the dosing more naturally replicates the 28 day cycle of the rise and fall of hormones.  Women using this “protocol” report an increased feeling of wellbeing, an end to hot flashes, greater quality of sleep, feel more energetic, happier and less moody.

Doctors who prescribe the Wiley Protocol and compounding pharmacists who fill prescriptions for women and men have all been certified and are qualified to provide the Wiley Protocol to their patients. The difficulty in obtaining the Wiley Protocol could be finding a doctor in Canada who is qualified in this system.  Currently, it is difficult for many, many women in Canada to even find a doctor who will prescribe bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.  There are some provinces in the country which do not even have a doctor to prescribe natural bioidentical hormones in the static dosing method. Hopefully, this scenario will change soon. Millions of baby boomer women are now in peri-menopause or menopause and need to find solutions to the symptoms they are suffering.  Some women are forced to travel to the United States to get the help they need and obtain natural bioidentical hormones.

Who is T.S. Wiley?

T.S. Wiley, the creator of the Wiley Protocol is the author of two books, “Sex, Lies & Menopause” and “Lights Out:  Sleep, Sugar and survival.”  She is also a researcher and lecturer on hormones and menopause and a medical theorist in environmental endocrinology and Darwinian medicine. She devised the Wiley Protocol which mimics the rise and fall of hormones using bioidentical hormones made from plant extracts after 12 years of research.

Cinnamon, a Natural Anti-Aging Supplement

Cinnamon - Natural Anti Aging Supplement

Cinnamon - Natural Anti Aging Supplement

One of the simplest natural anti-aging supplements I’ve heard of recently is one of the cheapest and you’ve probably already got some sitting in your kitchen cupboard right now.  You may be very surprised to hear about this, but cinnamon is very good for you and your health for many reasons.

Research has found that cinnamon has numerous health benefits in that it can decrease cholesterol, triglycerides and glucose levels.  It is also being investigated as a treatment for diabetes – one of the deadliest diseases that attack many people both young and old these days.  Cinnamon has been found to improve the metabolism of sugar in the fat cells by 20 per cent in a U.S. study.  It normalizes sugar levels in the blood and we all need that kind of help.

There are two types of cinnamon, verum and aromaticum or cassia.  Verum is the real cinnamon.  Aromaticum can actually not be good for you if you consume it in large quantities.  How much cinnamon should you consume in a day?  You should only have  about one gram per day for you to experience its benefits.  Throw some cinnamon in your coffee, bake some in some bread or an apple or fruit crumble and it will help you immensely in normalizing your blood sugar, cholesterol and triglycerides.  For these reasons, we call it a natural anti-aging supplement.

Cinnamon can also be bought as an supplement in your local health store, but if you can get it in its original form as a spice at a cheaper price, why wouldn’t you use this natural anti aging supplement?  It comes with immense health benefits.
